John 15:16

• [Joh 15:16] My Lord, I Did Not Choose You

  My Lord, I did not choose You, For that could never be; My heart would still refuse You, Had You not chosen me. You took the sin that stained me, You cleansed me, made me new; Of old You have ordained me, That I should live in You. Unless Your grace had called me And taught my op’ning mind, The world would have enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart knows none above You; For Your rich grace I thirst; I know that if I love You, You must have loved me first.

• [Joh 15:16] ’tis Not That I Did Choose Thee

  ’Tis not that I did choose Thee, For Lord, that could not be; This heart would still refuse Thee, Hadst Thou not chosen me. Thou from the sin that stained me Hast cleansed and set me free; Of old Thou hast ordained me, That I should live to Thee. ’Twas sov’reign mercy called me And taught my op’ning mind; The world had else enthralled me, To heav’nly glories blind. My heart owns none before Thee, For Thy rich grace I thirst; This knowing, if I love Thee, Thou must have loved me first.

John 16:13

• [Joh 16:13] We Now Implore God The Holy Ghost

  We now implore God the Holy Ghost For the true faith, which we need the most, That in our last moments He may befriend us And, as homeward we journey, attend us. Lord, have mercy! Shine in our hearts, O most precious Light, That we Jesus Christ may know aright, Clinging to our Savior, whose blood hath bought us, Who again to our homeland hath brought us. Lord, have mercy! Thou sacred Love, grace on us bestow, Set our hearts with heav’nly fire aglow That with hearts united we love each other, Of one mind, in peace with every brother. Lord, have mercy! Thou highest Comfort in every need, Grant that neither shame nor death we heed, That e’en then our courage may never fail us When the foe shall accuse and assail us. Lord, have mercy!
